Wow 8.2-7.8 is what can gather based on the video timer he left at exactly 1:50 and the light on the board light up right around the 1:58 mark.

looks like he left at 1:50.50 and the lights went up just a tick before 1:58.

i'd say 7 seconds.

u guys realize that is a fiber glass shell someone made up, hence the huge gaps, and the back end i believe was a modified vette. this car has nothing to do with the production car at all. nothing similar to it at all.

Cool. I heard this model will be available for about 35K when they come out.



Seriously though, nice custom job. Looks like someone got tired of waiting for the real thing to come out.
